Phytia

Phytia (Ancient Greek: Φυτία),[1] or Phoeteiae or Phoiteiai (Φοιτεῖαι),[2] or Phoetiae or Phoitiai (Φοιτίαι),[3] was a town in the interior of ancient Acarnania, situated on a height west of Stratus, and strongly fortified.

It lay on the road from Stratus to Medeon and Limnaea.

After the time of Alexander the Great it fell into the hands of the Aetolians, together with the other towns in the west of Acarnania.

[1][2] It is mentioned as one of the towns of Acarnania in a Greek inscription found at the site of Actium, the date of which is probably prior to the time of Augustus.

In this inscription the ethnic form Φοιτιάν occurs.
